Need a source for valve cover gasket for an 83 GS1100 Katana. I specified that when I bought the one I have but its the wrong one, - another $20. Motor has been setting a while and I don't want to start it up dry up top

20 bolt is for 80-81 1100.

No, the guy is supposed to pick it up july 3 or 4th. He used someone else. This guy has worn me out, I wish Id have just kept the bike. Hes had quotes form $975 to the latest at $650. If it was me id have checked on this before buying the bike.

Did you get the gasket sorted out? PM and Email sent.

I think so, I was expecting the gasket to have the same amount of holes as the valve cover. Apparently it doesn't. Ill take the valve cover off tomorrow & see. Thanks to all who helped out, much appreciated
